While not related to ION, the Ottawa Confederation Line of the O Train opened up today. It's certainly impressive. 3 of the stations are underground, the trains are running in pairs and hold a lot of people and it runs a lot faster - capable of 80km/h while the ION crawls along at 20km/h along much of the route. The benefits of being completely grade separated I suppose. Granted, Ottawa is a lot bigger and put a lot more money into their project resulting in a grander scale.
